Filastruder Drilling Templates

thingiverse

In spite of my best attempts to tighten the pipe and flange connection prior to using the Filastruder, it managed to tighten itself further when it was in use. When it finally stopped, it was 45 degrees off to one side. My only solution was to drill new holes into the polycarbonate case as well as the aluminium frame so that I could re-assemble the system with the pipe in a functional orientation. I used these templates to drill small (2mm) pilot holes in each part so that they would be in the right places. I then drilled out each pilot hole to the right size for the bolts. Hopefully this doesn't happen to you, but this will make it easy to add new holes to remedy the situation if it does.
